There is an affecting anecdote told Of
an Englishman travelling all the way TO
Paris to consult a celebrated chemist
there on the value of a splendid diamond
in his possession, which, being the last
OF his store, he was anxious TO dispose
OF summo pretio. At a glance the chem
list recognized in the splendid diamond
q white topaz merely-a very good sort
OF stone in its way, but no diamond.
1Observe, said he, In illustration. Tbe-
hind the stone, IL IL be a diamond, you
will see n pin only, for the r~efraction
Of the diamond is single; but behind IL,
IL it be a crystal, the pin will be doubled"
He had TO fix the stone in wax and the
pin in wax behind 1t, 80 much the poor
gentleman's hand shook. When loi
clearly behind It the pins were two

There is employed in the Smithsonian
Institution q young chemist Of the name
Of Darling. A distinguished expert who
is familiar with the work Of this young
man says he is one of the finest chemists
in the country, and that he will not long
remain an underpaid sub-professor in
the Smithsonian, at a salary Of only 500
amonth. This distinguished expert says
that Professor Darling made the first
practical application Of cocaine in this
country, and that il the knowledge OBJ
tanned by him in his experiments could
have been utilized by a capitalist the
young professor would now be a very
rich man. 1t was through young Oar
ling's experiments that the knowledge
was acquired of the use Of cocaine as q
local anesthetic, SO that the physicians
in charge Of Gen. Grants case ventured
to use it. II was through this professor
that they heard of it. When he had ar
rived al a complete knowledge of the
practical value Of cocaine, an enthusi-
astic friend went to an energetic CAPT
talist in Washington and introduced
him TO the chemist.
They made a proposition to tie
capitalist to furnish the money required
to put cocaine or the market, and he
was to have two-thirds of the profits.
The chemist had with him then a large
bottle Of cocaine diluted SO that il could
be taken inwardly. He tried TO get the
capitalist to taste Of il, telling him il he
should taken a certain fixed quantity he
would not be able to sleep for fifty
hours. and that his mind would remain
clear throughout the waking period
without any distressing reaction after
ward. The capitalist did not dare to
try the experiment at first. He said:
"You are trying TO poison me-" 1t Was
not until Professor Darling took a SINH
lar dose himself that he could be- pre-
vailed upon to try the drug. The effect
predicted was produced. Yet the capi-
talist did not appreciate the value of the
drug, and so did not go into the enter
prise. Professor Darling then in a fit Of
pique gave the result Of his experiments
to the public without condition. The
capitalist told the professor only a few
weeks ago that he could have cleared
$4,000 the first year if he had gone
into it. Now he has furnished a labora-
tory for the professor, and has told him
to go ahead and try some other expert
ments in the direction Of his original
discoyery.-Washington Cor. New York

Hunting on the Potomac.

The Potomac river has always been
celebrated for its waterfowl of a vari-
ETY. of sizes and kinds. from the gigantic
swans down to the small ducks. The
p~ot-hunters carry small swivel guns in
the bows of their skiffs, each discharge
Of which scatters nearly 5000 shot
among the flock of ducks, killing many
and gripping others, SO that a good
water-dog brings them in. The people
down the Potomac undertook 10 break
up the use Of this deadly weapon there,
by firing at the skif containing them
with rifles. This soon drove the pot
hunters away, and they are now congre-
gated in the vicinity of Washington.
The fine canvas-back ducks. SO priced
by epicures, are mostly shot on the
banks of the shallow bays of the Chesa-
peake, where they fatten on white cell

A school of Forestry.

Abbot Kinney is organizing a school
Of forestry under the auspices of the
university of California. We should
have these schools in every state, for the
American people should be informed re-
specting the dreadful consequences which
are certain to follow the wicked waste
Of our forests and woodlands. We are
already suffering from droughts and in.
undations, and those who follow us will
suffer still more because of the improvi.
dence of the past generation in sweeping
away the forests from the banks and
headwaters Of our rivers. Central Spain,
the vast pIateaux of central Asia, have
been for centuries desolate regions, be
cause of the removal of the forests,
which attracted moisture, fed the streams
and kept the soil fertile. This forestry
question is well understood In Europe.
The traveller on any part Of the CONT
Dent notices that when the soil is value.
less for agricultural purposes it is
planted with trees. No person is per-
mitted TO cut down his own wood with.
out a government permit, for the trees
removed from a mountain-side may re-
duce the volume of water in a fertile.
ing stream hundreds of miles away.
The governments abroad insist that when
a tree is cut down, another must imme.
diately be planted in its place, and only
a few can be remoued at a time. Dem

The 18th Of September being the na-
tional holiday, the people, asI am told
is their custom to do, made the most Of
it, and beginning with the 18th the cels-
bration lasted four days, during which
little business Of any kind was done.
Indeed. the banks remained closed on
the 2lst. But what with the constant
marching of troops, infantry, artillery
and sailors from the ships of war, the
almost unidentified music Of bands

national salutes from fort and war yes

Proverb. Not Altogether Reliable.

A wise saying is the product Of sound
intelligence contemplating weighty ex-
perience; but the experience oil average
mankind is not weighty, even when it is
disastrous, and its intelligence is not
sound. Therefore we should not look in
popular proverbs for what they can not
and, indeed, do not profess to be. Their
name rightly expresses their nature.
They are for the most part handy sub
stitutes for arguments, accepted SMILES
that serve instead Of reasoning, brief
prescrIptive and a~nalogical claims for
ordinary deeds and judgments; and
they consequently reflect the ordinary
vices aud weaknesses Of those who use
them. no less than their commonly very
moderate ideals Of what is good and
right-St. James Gazette.
